Call me stupid, but I would give Mark Farley a call. He takes the outcasts that Kurt doesn't want and turns them into winners on a lower level. Hire a couple recruiting expert assistants and go to town.
Heck, at least he has proven he can actually beat ISU.
Why on earth would Shaw leave Stanford for Iowa??? LOL
Are you saying Saban isn't an option either then?
^^^ thx, so I didn't have to type itWhy on earth would Shaw leave Stanford for Iowa??? LOL
Maybe Shaw likes challenges. Iowa's program would be seen as a program in need of a rebuild.Why on earth would Shaw leave Stanford for Iowa??? LOL

But how would Leach do against State or Wisky? We need someone who can 'coach' in many different kinds of situations. Unless you want to keep the someone who can coach during the B1G season.If people want exciting offense then call Mike Leach. The old swashbuckler should be able to get it done in ICity.
I would like us to take a look at Paul Chryst at Pitt.
He did a nice job as OC at Wisky under Bielema. He knows the B1G landscape and employs a true power football running game (not the crap we pass off as great o-lines and running game). He has Wisconsin roots and is well respected up there. He might be able to steal some guys that would typically go to UW and there are some decent players up there.
I am not sold on Gary Anderson so this would be nice to grab this guy and start getting back up on Wisky. That would freaking drive them nuts!
What I also like is he knows how to steam roll these crappy teams that KF annually loses to and how to beat OSU which Wisky has probably done more than anyone in the last 20 years.
That is who I would strongly consider. Let's make it happen.
You guys are hilarious. Bob Stoops ain't leaving Oklahoma for Iowa. And Shaw sure as hell ain't leaving Stanford for Iowa.
We might be able to get Bielema just because he will likely be out of a job, but if not, he is not leaving Arkansas for Iowa.
You guys WAY overvalue the Iowa HC position. To get a top candidate, you'll have to catch them when they are down AND pay them more then we ever paid Kirk.
